A new kayak paddling trail along Lawson’s Fork Creek could open this summer. The blueway will run from a planned put-in on Heathwood Road to a downstream take-out at Glendale Shoals just above the dam.
Spartanburg Area Conservancy kicked festivities off by hosting families and vendors at Glendale Shoals Preserve to commemorate their 35th anniversary at the SPACE Birthday Earth Day Bash on Saturday morning. While the nonprofit organization has existed since 1989, this year marked their inaugural Earth Day festival.
